Spain

This is your trip, for your group. We're not combining you with teachers/students from other schools, so we can tailor your itinerary to suit your group perfectly. One of the following suggested itineraries may be a perfect fit for your group, but if not then let us build a perfect one for you!

Madrid, Toledo & Segovia | 7 Days View Download

Highlights of Madrid include a walking tour of the Royal Palace, the panoramic view from atop the Almudena, comparing the works of Goya, Velázquez, Titian, Rubens, and Bosch at the Prado with works by Picasso and Dali at the Museo Reina Sofia, an excursion out to El Escorial with its tombs of Spanish Monarchs, a tour of Real Madrid's Estadio Bernabeu, the sunset at Templo de Debod, and a Flamenco show on the final evening.

Beyond Madrid are Segovia and Toledo, we'll take day trips to explore both of these cities. In Segovia - a city first settled by Celts, then by Romans, and finally by Christians - we'll walk beneath the monumental Roman Aquaduct and tour the Alcazar that inpired Walt Disney. In Toledo - a city settled first by Celts, then Romans, then Visigoths, then Moors, and finally Christians - we'll follow the Muralla de Toledo trail out to the Mirador del Valle for a spectacular view of the city before passing through the city walls to spend time with a local swordsmith, explore the Military Museum inside the Alcazae, visit the spectacular Gothic Cathedral, and pick up some boxes of marzipan for friends back home.

Madrid & The Basque Country | 8 Days View Download

North of Madrid is the coastal city of San Sebastian, overlooking the Bay of Biscay, in the Basque Country. This small, cosy and readily walkable city is home to La Concha - one of the best in-city beaches in Europe, Pintxos - arguably the best tapas in Spain, an extraordinary Maritime Museum & Aquarium, and great shopping streets. It's close enough for a day trip to Bilbao where we'll explore the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum and wander for a while in the Seven Streets section of town. Pro tip: Extend this itinerary with daytrips to Segovia and Toledo!
